Heavy Machine Gun versus Osiron Security - math check
« on: April 21, 2016, 09:26:27 am »
Just a small question in regards to combat damage Resolution.

Osiron Security has 50 Front Armour and 35 Health
HMG does 65 dmg with PS Ammo.

I recently downed such a guy with a single hit.
The Minimum damage for that to happen would be 86 damage.
With a base damage of 65 and a 50 to 150 % damage range, it would require at least a 133 % roll on the Initial hit.
Or, on a dice from 1 to 100, at least a 83. So 1 out of 5 hits has the statistical Chance to 1 hit kill.

Is the math and reasoning here correct ?
- thanks

Your reasoning and math is correct but for a single assumption. Gun damage is 0-200%. Explosives and some special cases are 50-150%. Unless you are playing with TFTD formula option in which case everything is 50-150%

(Note that XPiratez is not designed to be played with the TftD formula applied widely. It comes with its own pick of formulas for each weapons)

It is even written in one of the starting Pedia articles: "*GUNS and SWORDS generally cause 0-200% of their stated damage on any hit."

Chill. I didnt alter the game options, it was just the wrong assumption above. Thanks for clarifying though.
